                           budget resolution

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                    Washington, DC, July 13, 2015.
       Mr. Tom Price of Georgia: Mr. Speaker, pursuant to section 
     314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I hereby 
     submit for printing in the Congressional Record revisions to 
     the aggregates and allocations set forth pursuant to the 
     Fiscal Year 2016 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget 
     Conference Report, S. Con. Res. 11. The revision is for

     new budget authority and outlays for provisions designated as 
     program integrity initiatives, pursuant to section 
     251(b)(2)(B) and (C) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), contained in H.R. 3020, 
     the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, 
     Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016.
       S. Con. Res. 11 set the base discretionary 302(a) 
     allocation to the Committee on Appropriations at $1,016,582 
     million, which is the sum of the fiscal year 2016 
     discretionary spending limits under section 251(c) of BBEDCA. 
     Section 251(b) of BBEDCA allows for adjustments to the 
     discretionary spending limits for certain purposes including 
     overseas contingencies, disaster relief, and program 
     integrity initiatives.
       H.R. 3020, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human 
     Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
     2016, contains $1,484 million in budget authority for program 
     integrity initiatives, which is within the allowable limits 
     for this purpose as established in section 251(b)(2)(B) and 
     (C) of BBEDCA. Accordingly, I am submitting an adjustment to 
     S. Con. Res. 11 for an additional $1,484 million in budget 
     authority to accommodate program integrity funding contained 
     in H.R. 3020. After making this adjustment, H.R. 3020 is 
     within the fiscal year 2016 discretionary spending limits 
     under section 251(c) of BBEDCA and the 302(a) allocation to 
     the Committee on Appropriations established by S. Con. Res. 
     11.
       These revisions are provided for bills, joint resolutions, 
     and amendments thereto or conference reports thereon, 
     considered by the House subsequent to this filing, as 
     applicable. For fiscal year 2016, aggregate levels of budget 
     authority and outlays and the allocation to the Committee on 
     Appropriations, established by S. Con. Res. 11, are revised. 
     Associated tables are attached.
       This revision represents an adjustment for purposes of 
     budgetary enforcement. The revised allocation is to be 
     considered as an allocation included in the budget resolution 
     pursuant to S. Con. Res. 11, as adjusted.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Tom Price, M.D.,
                                Chairman, Committee on the Budget.
